XP disable

[Hrethnar]

Would anyone else like this feature to be implemented? I just got my first character to 50 and I have heavensward, so as I'm doing all these story quests to catch up my character will be leveling beyond 50. I haven't even gotten to ultima weapon yet (on the quest before it...) and I'm halfway to 51. This just irks me. I'd like to start heavensward at 50 and experience it as I'm assuming SE intended it to be.

Also looking into what I'll need to do to catch up before I can even start heavensward content, it almost makes me want to stay screw it and wait until they decide to let people skip the 2.55 quests. And this is coming from someone who enjoys the MSQ (I just don't enjoy gear grind or ilevel requirements for something that should be casual).

You'll be glad for that bonus XP by the time you get to 54-55 or so because there's long stretches where you are unable to continue in the MSQ without leveling up and your most reliable source of XP comes from some truly annoying side quests and FATEs.

Then again, you're a tank. You could queue dungeons all day if you wanted.

You dont want to skip the content patch story it's really good and 2.55 is very important and sets up the expansion.

This. You'll only do the quests once per character...whilst at end game you'll be set to do the same dungeons over and over and over again. So there's no real rush - the content will still be there so take the time to enjoy the ride, especially if you're a fan of the story.

Heavensward was designed for players at or above at least item level 100 for the most part. If you're just at level 50, you'll probably appreciate being at level 52 by the time you get into xpac content.

All of the HW dungeons sync to one level above the entry level anyway. You don't even get access to the first one until 51 so you won't be out as far as you think.

Levl up another job to 50, do the 2.1-2.55 story with that job and switch later back to your main job for HW.

As far as the ilvl requirements go the best thing imo to do is buy the lvl 50 gear from the MB or have someone pick it up cheap from Ishgard vendors. It's a full set of i115 gear so you should be able to blow throw all the content you have left without having to worry about meeting the ilvl requirements everytime.

Plus you don't have to do every single dungeon quest either just do the things the Main story makes you do so you can get to the HW stuff and you can always go back & do the things you skipped.

Enjoy the story! Things start getting crazy from here! :O

You'll get synced to level 50 for pretty much anything where your level will come into play anyway, and it's honestly better to have those levels then to do the old way and have to grind to access the next 3 quests then repeat again lol.

As it has been said, you'll appreciate it unless you enjoy being stopped and told to come back when your level 54/55/57/59 multiple times cus the story seems to stop after like 2 or 3 check points.
